High Council 2006

The delegates of what is known as the High Council were welcomed tonight and now convene to decide on the next international leader of The Salvation Army. The process comprises the National Leaders of TSA throughout the world. It certainly looked multi-cultural to me which was really encouraging. Pictures, webcast and info (here).

If they decide to vote for me could you let them know we're in France for a couple of days :o)?

They can vote for anyone they like, can't they?

Personally, I fully expect to be the first general to be elected after only six months of officer service :)

As an Anglican I guess I can't vote but if i could I would be voting for you of course. If I can, let me know and I will!

When you get the role can you remember to invite me to the massive mansion that goes with the job!

Enjoy France!

Hey Gordon...

My money (metaphorically speaking) is on Israel Gaither for General... He would be fantastic! He is on fire!

Peace,

Thomas,

Being a USA Easterner, I am partial to Comm. Gaither as well. He is an incredible man of God!

Personally I think the High Council should be like the Big Brother house. Let's lock them all up in Sunbury court, plenty of cameras and then vote them out one by one!

Lost Voices of Mission...Fred Brown

Along the world famous Oxford street in London's Westend; nestled in among the classy frontage of designer shops there is almost an unnoticeable, unimpressive wooden door. It is more or less alongside The Regent Hall's main entrance onto the busyness of Oxford Street. People pass the wooden door oblivious to the equally unimpressive wooden steps that go up three storey's to what was Regent Hall's youth club. When I was 10 I played on these bare wooden steps totally unaware of the significance behind and upon which I played.

Types of Christian Spirituality...

It is easy to think and to limit ourselves to a single approach to Christian spirituality. A 'if it works for me it should work for you approach' tends to narrow our appreciation of other ways which actually impoverishes our experience of spirituality. Urban T. Holmes has developed a means of exploring spirituality and helps develop an appreciation through discovering links between spirituality, temperament and predisposition. The diagram illustrates his ideas together with potential inherent dangers. The vertical continuum speaks and helps us understand our relational orientation to God. This ranges from engaging with God through understanding and theological process to a more emotive response. Horizontally speaks of a persons preferred means of pursuing the spiritual life. Kataphtic speaks of affirmation and the need of something tangible in an individuals spirituality- this may take the form of worship, art, even imagination with the use of metaphors, symbols and images play
